i don't remember, it was a winter-rat i had from oct-may of 72=73 and sold it, but it did have turn signal flashers that popped out of the door-jams, THAT was a real surprise...Did your bug also get the windshield fluid pressure from the spare tire. You had to hook a tube up to the spare tire. You probably had to remember to fill the spare tire every month or so.
Those silly Germans!

I had one those while stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the UK! I had to remember to refill the spare everytime I refueled!
The passenger’s side was on the right and the door latch wasn’t very strong. I nearly lost my girlfriend (eventually became my exwife) on a sharp turn.
The VW was designed to be a cheap car. That windshield washer was a cheap solution.
Those silly Germans!
Not so silly. They included a valve in their system so that it would stop working before the spare tire was drained to the point at which it wouldn't be safe to use.
It was better than the washer in an English car that I once had. There was a little pump on the dashboard. Each time you pumped it, a little dribble of washer fluid came out. Most of it ended up on the hood rather than the windshield.
The German gas heaters were very effective and safe as long as they were maintained properly.
Of course, a lot of people never bother with maintenance.
